Salvia or Scarlet Sage 
The Scarlet Sage is one of the most brilliant bedding plants; blooms from early 
summer until frost. Popular for beds, borders, edgings and pot culture; may 
be used for cutting. There are tall and dwarf varieties for different purposes. 
The blue and salmon varieties are distinct; less showy but fine for borders or 
bouquets. All are best treated as annuals but seed must be started early indoors 
in boxes of light, rich soil and placed in a warm, sunny window.
